Big 12 Pitcher of the WeekBlaire Luna, Texas, Sr., RHP, Austin, TexasLuna threw her second-straight no-hitter Friday against Iowa State and finished the weekend without allowing an earned run in 12.0 innings pitched. She surrendered just four hits and struck out 22 during the series against the Cyclones.

With the performance Friday, Luna became the second pitcher in Texas history to toss no-hitters in consecutive starts, joining Cat Osterman who accomplished the feat four times. Luna’s string of consecutive hitless innings reached 20-and-a-third frames, good for the second-longest streak in program history. The no-hitter also extended her streak of consecutive starts without allowing more than three hits to 10, the fifth longest in Texas history. Sunday against the Cyclones, Luna allowed four hits and a pair of unearned runs while striking out 11 in earning her second win of the weekend. The Austin product has not surrendered an earned run in the last 26-and-a-third inning and has not given up one at home in the last 34-and-a-third frames.

The senior enters this week with a 21-1 record, tied with Cat Osterman (2006) for the best through 22 decisions in program history. Luna leads the Big 12 Conference with 258 strikeouts, 21 wins and a .101 opponent batting average while standing second in the league in shutouts with 10.

At time of last NCAA stats release, through April 7 games, Luna was tops in Division I in strikeouts per seven innings (12.9) and fewest hits allowed per seven innings (2.41).
